Thermal Camera
Emissivity
The measure of how eciently an object emits
thermal radiation. Adjust to match the camera
readings to the true temperature of the object.
• Higher values means the camera is more
sensitive to temperature variations
• Lower values means the camera is less
sensitive to temperature variations
Surfaces that are better emitters (higher
emissivity) provide more reliable temperature
readings. For example, black electrical tape,
rusted or oxidized surfaces, bodies of water, or
human skin all absorb and emit energy. Set your
emissivity high for these types of surfaces.
Reflective surfaces are not good emitters
(low emissivity) and therefore not as reliable
to measure. Stainless steel, shiny surfaces,
or reflective windows tend to have a low
emissivity. Set your emissivity low for these
types of surfaces, but we recommend gathering
your reading from a higher emissivity surface
whenever possible.
Thermal Parameters
Humidity
Set your humidity to accurately reflect the environment you are flying in. This should be the
humidity between the sensor and the target.
Humidity is an important parameter to set because your thermal sensor will detect atmospheric
conditions like humidity (and distance) which can aect the accuracy of your reading.
Distance
Set your distance to accurately reflect the range from your thermal sensor to the target.
The further away the target, the more atmosphere your thermal camera will pick up along the
way to the target which can aect the accuracy of your reading.
